The Dr. has ran blood test on different things it could be and so far they are all negitive? What should we do now? They want her to see a GI Dr??? Is this the right step to be taking. Her issues have been on going daily since the middle of June this year. The pain only last about 30 seconds to 2 minutes????

Hello Adyssa's Mom,

So sorry your daughter is having some digestive issues. It certainly makes sense for the doctor to refer Alyssa to a pediatric gastroenterologist if he/she needs further advice on how to proceed with the treatment.

It does help the gastroenterologist if you can bring in all of the previous records such as the blood test results with you. You and your daughter can keep a journal of the symptoms. Writing down what she ate and when she had the discomfort may offer important information the doctor needs to help her.

Let us know what you find out from the appointment with the specialist.
